[QUOTE="MagnumManiac, post: 1558132, member: 10755"] In the early to mid 90’s when I had lots of surplus money, I hunted/guided many Kodiak/Brown/Grizzly/Polar bears. The bullets I used at the time in 338’s, both the magnums and 338-06, were the Speer 275gr Semi spitzer as a client/backup option and the old style 250gr Partition with the machined cannelure. I also used a 375 Weatherby as a back up with a 300gr Woodleigh. Nowadays, if I were doing it again, the Speer was discontinued many moons ago now, I would still use a Partition in 250gr, but seeing as though the 250gr and 300gr Accubond are available, I would opt for either of those, preferring the 250gr weight for the 338-06/338WM size and the 300gr for anything bigger like the RUM/EDGE or bigger. I would absolutely love to see my 338-416 Rigby Improved take down a huge Kodiak using a 300gr Berger OTM..............anyway just a dream right now. IMHO, in a 338, the lightest bullet to use on bear is a 225gr HEAVILY constructed bullet, like a Barnes, Accubond, Partition, Core-Lokt or Swift A-Frame. Cup and core without bonding should be avoided. Unless it’s a Berger. Cheers. [/QUOTE]
